Raghavendra Addanki

I am a sixth year PhD student in the College of Information and Computer Sciences at University of Massachusetts Amherst. I am co-advised by Prof. Andrew McGregor and Prof. Cameron Musco.

Prior to this, I completed my undergraduate in Computer Science at IIT Madras in 2016.

    I plan to graduate in May 2022, and am looking for postdoctoral and industry research positions. Please reach out to me incase you find me to be a good fit in your group.

Research Interests

I am broadly interested in theoretical computer science. My specific interests include the Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Causal Inference and Machine Learning.
